Marin Breast Cancer Watch
MBCW was founded in 1995 by a group of concerned
Marin County residents who wanted to know why so many of
their friends were afflicted with breast cancer. MBCW is
an established leader in conducting breast cancer research
and searching for the causes of the disease.
In partnership with Duke Marketing, L&Z Designs created
a newspaper ad thanking all the participants, volunteers
and sponsors who contributed to the 2004 Dipsea Hike and
Run, in Marin County, CA for MBCW's third year.

The Dipsea Race: First run in 1905,
the Dipsea is the oldest cross country race in America.
It is run every year on the second Sunday in June. The scenic
7.1 mile course from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach is considered
to be one of the most beautiful courses in the world. The
stairs and steep trails make it a grueling and treacherous
race. And its unique handicapping system has made winners
of men and women of all ages. Because of its beauty and
challenge, it is a very popular event, and because of safety
and environmental concerns the number of runners is limited
to about 1,500. While racers enter for all over the world,
the Dipsea is primarily a Northern California event and
the entry process is tilted slightly to favor local contestants.
